Patriots are wicked good in October

From their website:

quote:The Patriots are an NFL-best 35-8 in the month of October since the 2003 season. The Patriots are 20-1 (.952) at home during that time in October. The only home loss since 2003 was a 41-17 victory by the visiting San Diego Chargers on Oct. 2, 2005.

You can never take them for granted and winning at Foxboro can seem impossible. BUT, the Pats' myriad problems are well documented. This is as good a chance the Saints (or anyone) will have to steal a game there.

Yeah, in 2009, the Saints broke the trend "No team that lost a regular season game to Tampa ever won the SB" and "No team that lost their last three reg season games ever won the Super Bowl".

This year, the Saints will break the perception they can't win in tough outdoor/potential-bad-weather stadiums: Soldier Field, Gilette, Meadowlands, Seattle, and the Super Bowl in New York/Meadowlands.
